Russian performance artist Slava Polunin will present his “Snowshow” at Shenzhen Poly Theater.

The show won the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event. It is a universal and timeless theatrical poetic spectacle which has unanimously enchanted and empowered the imagination of audiences and critics since 1993 in dozens of countries. It remains as spontaneous and magical as on the first day it was performed, systematically catapulting adults back in childhood.

Over the years, Polunin has developed and mastered a tragic, metaphysical art of clowning by digging deep into tragicomedy to understand to what extent drama can be combined with laughter in a most captivating way.

“Snowshow” offers everybody an opportunity to leave their regulated lives at the theater doors and enter a condition of delighted idiocy. Experience a joyous dream-like world which will touch both your heart and funny bone, culminating in a breathtaking blizzard leaving you literally knee deep in snow.
